  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    When I met my friend and great master Kiko Freitas in 1994. His words when I was just starting my studies were fundamental and this was a decisive moment for my career progression as a professional musician.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    My experiences acquired throughout the human process of living (landscapes, smells, flavors, tastes, sounds, etc.) together with the exchange of experiences with other people and nature.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    Vic Firth, for me, are the best drumsticks I've ever used in my life. Super quality in the construction of the drumsticks. I always dreamed of being part of this family. This is wonderful. Thank you very much for making this dream come true.
